Well for the people who don't know me i have been on the forums for a while now and previously owned robbos zed i loved the thing to death and after being zedless for about 6 months i decided i needed another one. So i eventually found what i was looking for as a base to start with, i was lucky enough to pick up a TT slick top, unfortunately it was auto and i paint almost nothing for it, everyone was crazy saying why did you buy a TT when your only 18 well why not i sad. so the plan is to fix it and get it really nice. i work as an apprentice mechanic so i have a very good idea with that im doing and love working on vg30s. so enough talking and ill let the pictures do the talking. So this is what the car looked like when i bought The first thing i did was put some nice wheels on it so i put a set of rotor girds on it which i had laying around The interior was one of the tidiest i have seen for tweed
Looks like a solid foundation to start with. Good luck on the build. Will be good to see this story unfold.
yer the previous owner had no idea what they were doing glad i saved the car from being more destroyed than it already is so skipping ahead as i have done lots of work before i stared the build treat we will start from here at the moment the motors and box have been removed motor is also stripped down and getting a rebuild due to low comp, is at the machinist atm getting sussed out for what size over bore to go So as due to bore damage its getting a rebuilt bottom end at this stage Parts list/work happening: CP pistons and rings eagle rods ALC race bearings ALC main and head studs Water Jacket ported/debured blocked decked if need be Nissan Oil pump
